Have been out breaking in my first pair of waders a few times over the last couple weeks at fairfax beach on lake monroe, looking for fall wipers. Have never fished here before this year and I haven't been having luck. Weed cover is thick pretty much all along the beach and peninsula. Caught a few small largemouth but that's it. Anyone have any tips? Is the weed cover this year unusual? Still worth trying or is the bite pretty much over?

I know monroe has them, idk why I've just always been more of a river guy, seems like there is never any telling where the wipers might be in the lake. PM if you'd ever want to go to monroe together I've been meaning to fish it, I duck hunt on it now and again as I'm not too far away from the lake, but just never have gotten into fishing it.
